The Orange Box: Half-Life 2: Episode Two Hints
How can I get these boards out of the way?
1 of 9: Go up the nearby sloping ground with the tracks on it.
2 of 9: At the top of the slope is a mine cart with lots of heavy metal beams piled on it.
3 of 9: What's keeping that cart from hurtling down the tracks and smashing through the board barricade?
4 of 9: There are a few boards nailed across in front of the cart, blocking its path.
5 of 9: Maybe you can remove them.
6 of 9: While standing off to the side, pull on each board with the gravity gun's Secondary Fire.
7 of 9: If the board doesn't break, release it or throw it, then grab the next board.
8 of 9: When enough of them are removed, the cart will break through and go down the tracks.
9 of 9: When it reaches the tunnel exit, it'll be going fast enough to bash through the boards.
